was tried before Judge Durfee last
Monday afternoon on a charge of
assault and battery preferred against
him by John Cederslrom. The
trouble occured last Friday at the
latter's home at Devil's Track lake,
I
when Johnson, who lives a half mile
away, came over there looking for
his cows. Cederstrom is an old man,
64 years of age. There were no
witnesses to the fight but the old
man's face was so bruised and
blackened that he was hardly recog­
nizable, while Johnson bore no mark
of the struggle, excepting that he
exhibited a torn coat in support of
his claim of self defense."- The
evidence wasv contradict
Cederetrom claimed that the assault
was entirely unprovoked and that
Johnson pounded him into insensi-,
bility and then went away and left
him lying on the ground. Recover­
ing consciousness be dragged him­
self to the school house, where he
was cared for by Albert Rindahl,
after which he was taken to a neigh­
bor's and a doctor called to attend
him. As a result of the trial John­
son was convicted and sentenced to
pay a fine of fifty dollars and costs,
or sixty days in jail. Being unable
to pay the fine, the justice allowed
him sixty days time in which to
raise the same—this act of leniency
being shown out of consideration for
his family!

Demise ot Hjalmer Eliasen.
Hjalmer EliaseiKdied &t his home
in Hoyland last Monday morning.
Deceased had beeii ailing for oyer a
year, with stomach trouble, and a
few weeks ago he went to Duluth in
hopes of securing medical 'relief.
But the disease had then made such
progress and he was so weakened
that nothing could be done for him
more than to make him as comfort­
able as possible while the end- ap­
proached. He was brought back
from Duluth the early part of last
week. A
Deceased was born in Norwky 37
years ago, coming to this country
with his parents when a child. The
family first settled at Duluth,
Minn., coming toXDook county and
settling at Hovland about twenty
four years ago, and during practic­
ally all ot the time since he has liv­
ed at Hovland. He was a respected
citizen, haVing since his maturity
held various public offices in
the community. He was ambitious,
and in his anxiety for the welfare of
his family it is said lie overtaxed
himself for among his neighbors
overwork is given as the primary
cause of his sickness. He leaves a
wife and three children, the oldest
of
whom is
four
years of° age, and
the youngest ten months. His fa­
ther and all of his brothers and sis­
ters reside at Hovland. The funer­
al will be held this afternoon, with
services at the Lutheran church at
Hovlandy and many Grand- Marais
friends ot the family will attend.
Mrs. Eliasen was a former 'Grand
Marais girl, and to her and alt the
members of the bereaved family. the
people of tins village extend sincere
sympathy. ...
Some clays ago Ben Robertson
captured a litter of four fox pups,
so young that they had not yet
opened their eyes. At home he had
a fox terrier bitch with five young
pups of about the same age, so he
conceived the idea of having the
terrier raise the fox pups with her
own. He first, as an experiment,
placed one fox pup with the other
family, and the little thing seemed
instincively to scent danger for it
did its best to scramble away. But
when all four were afterwards placed
with the mother dog they look to
her more kindly and she has since
nursed and cared for them with the
same affection as her own.
Revolvers.
A revolver is a niokle-plated substi­
tute for bravery, which has practically
driven the original article out of the
market.
The revolver gives a puny man with a
inch brain and the pluck of a grass­
hopper a 100-yard reach and makes him
more deadly than a Sioux Indian. There
was a time when this country had no
dangerous animals, except bears and
wolves, and life was safe, except on the
frontiers, but now vast hordes of 16-year
old boys who use their skulls for a dime
novel bookcase, roam the streets with
cigarettes in their face and portable
cannon in their hip pockets, producing
obituaries with the skill and enthusiasm
of a choleramicrobe while it is at all
times possible to peet a personal enemy
who has been chasing you for a Week,
and who is reluotantly compelled to de­
fend himself when he catches you by
filling you so full of lead that your re­
mains will require eight pall-bearers.
Revolvers are now so-generally psed in
debate, in domestic quarrels and repar­
tee of all sorts that 8,000 Americans* die
of them each year, it is said.—Mitchell,
S. D. Gazette.

EHflHII MflMIS, Cfy&K EMIHTY, MINN., MAY 6, 1915-
Planting Strawberries.
May i5th to June 15th is the pro­
per season for planting on tlie North
Shore. Later planting in most eases
gives a small growth for the season,
at least I would not think of plant­
ing later than July ^st. There are
two principal methods of planting,
the hill system and the matted row
plan. The former requires about
10,000 plants for an acre and far
more labor in the way of cultivation
and control of runners. It is the
most intensive form of cultivation
and has been known under the most
favorable conditions to produce
12,000 quarts to the acre. It is my
belief that the expense is not justi­
fied on our cheap land, as we do
not need to try to produce rentals
on a land valuation of $200 or $300
per acre.
For matted rows you plant 3M or
4 feet apart and 18 to 24 inches
spacing in the row. For myself, I
shall plant 4x2 feet. Allow your
runners first to fill all the spacc in
the row, the long way, then let
them spread horizontally each way
till you have about 24 inches left
clear for the cultivation between the
rows. This means about 5,000
plants to the acre, and with a good
vigorous growth of plants, you may
perhaps raise from 5,000 to 8,000
quarts per acre, the year after plant­
ing. Two persons will plant to bet­
ter advantage thah one. When
your rows are marked a dibble, a
spade, or a masons trowel for plant­
ing will be found very convenient.
Tlie helper carries the plants in a
light market basket or a box or pail
in one hand, the planting tool in the
other. Push the trowel, dibble or
spade down about 6 inches and press
lightly back and forth. The planter
jom so
they hang straight down, and will
readily drop into the spade-cut with­
out much curling or doubling, then
press the earth firmly around the
roots by a step with the foot on one
side of plant.! If the ground is
moist this will be sufficient, but it is
an easy matter to carry a pail of
water and pour a cupfull into the
hole just before pressing the earth
against the roots of the plant. In
this case care should be taken not
t6 wet the leaves of plunt or leave
water on the surface of the ground
around plant, especially if the sun is
shining. Be very careful not to
cover the crown of plant with earth.
The crown is the little bud-like cen­
ter or heart of the plant. It will die
if this is covered. With a little
practice an active man or boy should
be able to plant 150 to 200 plants
in an hour, and with good plants
and good soil conditions nearly
every plant will live and thrive.
As one soil is apt to hold too much
moisture at times, it will probably
pay us to ridge the rows a little be­
fore planting, so that the plant is
slightly above the general level of
the ground, but not too mnch.

Warning to Stock-Owners.
During the winter months there
has been some laxity in the enforce­
ment of the ordinadce prohibiting
the running at large of cattl^ and
horses, but the time has arrived
when a more rigid observadce of
the ordinance becomes necessary.
Therefore notice is now given that
from and after this date the ordi
ance will be strictly enforced and
all cattle and horses found running
at large upon the streets of the vil­
lage will be taken up and impound­
ed,

A petition asking for a mite of con­
necting road between the old Cascade
road near the C. F. Boberts' place and
the auto road at Dan McDonalds', which
had been in circulation for signatures
ha8 been forwarded to the County board
for action thereon. The need of such a
connecting link is apparent to all who
are acquainted with the situation.
Several of our public spirited settlers
have undertaken to improve the "auto"
road northward from the Smith, et al
mail box, and have already put in some
time repairing the corduroys and some
of the worst places, so as to make same
somewhat more satisfactory for neces­
sary present use There are seven miles
of the. road between the graded part (that
ends near the Saegrov place) and the
Pigeon River' that'id much used by our
settlers, and is in great need of
immediate improvement.
as. Morrison and family broke camp
in their sugar-bush on Wednesday, after
